Gravity Archives by Andrew Motion; Rabbitbox by Wayne Holloway-Smith; Strange Architectures by JL Williams; I Do Know Some Things by Richard Siken Gravity Archives by Andrew Motion (Faber, £12.99) From his 1978 debut through his laureate elegies for Princess Diana and the Queen Mother, death remains a major preoccupation for Motion. And for good reason: his mother’s accidental fall from a horse and subsequent premature death catalysed an unshakeable elegiac pattern, the poet as chronicler of loss – and, by extension, love. But something has subtly shifted in this latest gravitational turn. No longer the bewildered and ambivalent Englishman, who in his previous book, Randomly Moving Particles, emigrates to the US, here we see a more rooted and resolute eye surveying the mortality of others as well as his own. An opening sequence of eight roughly sonnet-like poems mourning the Baltimore poet Joseph Harrison contrasts the American’s dying courage with the poet’s English reticence. “You talk. I will – but warn you, Joe, / talk is not first nature. I blame Dad, / his silence fathomless. I tried.” An awkwardness relegates grief back to its private place, giving way to alternatives sometimes hopeful or outright hilarious. In Autumn Light a sequence for familial dead begins “Andrew Motion has also died … He was a fool in his own opinion”, mixing pathos and bathos. In English Elegies John Berryman appears as a “staggeringly drunk” spirit guide, advising against the melancholic pull of home. “ That place was done for, England , and so on, / John said.” Wisely, Motion resolves, “High time / it is that I, like everyone, set out to die alone.” Rabbitbox by Wayne Holloway-Smith (Scribner, £ 12.99) The “toxic grammar” of home mediates a different form of filial elegy in Rabbitbox, where male violence terrorises the boy, or “boy-rabbit”. Here we mourn not the dead but those prevented from living: a young mother and her child besieged by a shadowy husband and father. “The mother one...

From Richmond, California Recommended if you like Molly Nilsson, Chromatics, the 1975’s 1980s pastiches Up next Self-titled debut album out 10 April For those of us who can’t resist the pull of melancholy synth-pop, Californian artist Hannah Lew is set to become a new obsession. Soon to be released via Night School Records – home to the likes of Tristwch Y Fenywod and Teresa Winter – Lew’s self-titled debut is one of those albums that could easily be a greatest hits, with nine irresistible, single-worthy tracks all saturated with neon-lit heartbreak. A mainstay of the San Francisco Bay Area creative scene, Lew started out playing in indie trio Grass Widow, and went on to form Cold Beat – an electronic group with an onomatopoeic band name, with releases on tastemaking labels Dark Entries and DFA. Beyond her music-making endeavours she’s a record shop owner, visual artist and film-maker; she’s helmed the record label Crime on the Moon and has made a string of high-saturation music videos for Shannon & the Clams, Frankie Rose and her own bands. Like her labelmate Molly Nilsson, Lew excels at wringing maximum emotion from familiar sounds. She deftly moves between sub-genres and styles, from the minimal wave of Distance of the Moon to the New Order-esque Siloed. Recent single Sunday is all widescreen synths and melodramatic drums, like the sun coming up on a new romantic party in California. Another Twilight has a dark disco flavour with an irresistible bassline, crunchy guitar part and singsong melody. Across all these modes, Lew’s earnest vocal tone recalls the light touch of Chromatics’ Ruth Radelet – a refreshingly low-key and human centre to her maximalist musical world.

Government officials across the US have taken new security measures because of fears that Iran, or its supporters, may launch attacks on targets in America to retaliate for the US and Israel’s bombing of the country. Federal and local public officials have announced that they have taken steps such as increasing law enforcement patrols to prevent any attack, which could come directly from the Iranian regime or a lone actor, security experts said. “If there were ever a time when Iran would want to put into place all the different capabilities it’s built up over these years as off-the-shelf operational planning … now would be it,” said Matthew Levitt, director of the counter-terrorism program at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. After the US attacked Iran on 28 February, Kash Patel, the FBI director, posted on X that he had instructed “counterterrorism and intelligence teams to be on high alert and mobilize all assisting security assets needed”. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) secretary, Kristi Noem, also posted that she was in “direct coordination with our federal intelligence and law enforcement partners as we continue to closely monitor and thwart any potential threats to the homeland”. Leaders of major American cities including Los Angeles, Miami and New York have announced increased patrols around sensitive locations such as places of worship, cultural centers and schools. Rebecca Weiner, deputy commissioner of intelligence and counter-terrorism for the NYPD, told CBS News the city had been in a “heightened threat environment” since June, when the US aided Israel’s attack on Iranian nuclear facilities. She said the recent attacks on Iran were “definitely an escalation” and that the city would feature “enhanced deployments, patrol resources, specialized resources, the help of partners”. “They are not telling you exactly what they’re doing, and they are not saying, ‘This is where we are going to be,’” said Richard Frankel, a retired FBI agent ...

The moment 19-year-old Emely Agustin spotted the group of masked immigration agents tackling a woman facedown on the pavement, her heart dropped. She saw the woman’s red jacket. “Oh my fucking God. That’s my mom!” she screamed. It was the morning of 5 November in Cottage Grove, in central Oregon, and masked officers with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) had dragged Juanita Avila out of her van. The agents pinned her down as she cried out for her daughter, who started filming. Juanita, a 47-year-old legal permanent resident, had her green card in her pocket, but officers handcuffed and detained her. “I was really scared. I couldn’t stop shaking,” Emely recalled in a recent interview. “It was like they were trying to kidnap me,” added Juanita. The mother and daughter were speaking out for the first time since Juanita’s arrest became part of a court case that secured a major victory for immigrants’ rights in Oregon. The lawsuit challenged ICE’s tactic of detaining people without warrants or probable cause, a practice advocates say has fueled widespread racial profiling and chaotic arrests. 1:29 Daughter realises her mother is being arrested by ICE agents in Oregon – video Last month, a federal judge sided with the plaintiffs and issued a preliminary injunction blocking ICE agents in Oregon from continuing their “arrest first, justify later” tactics, as lawyers labeled it. The judge said ICE’s conduct had been “brutal and violent”, saying agents’ arrest strategy “systematically violates federal law and individual constitutional rights”. From ‘village girl’ to shop owner Standing behind the counter at Juanita’s Latina Store one recent morning, Juanita fidgeted with papers and spoke softly about her arrest as customers wandered in for snacks. Her tiny shop, located in a former bank vault, is on Main Street in Cottage Grove, a town south of Eugene. Juanita packs the shelves with an array of goods, including Latin American spices, corn masa flour, breads, cowboy ha...

The bombing of Iran is deeply unpopular. Despite the Tories’ urgings, Keir Starmer must not further embroil the UK in this disaster Keir Starmer’s immediate response to the Israeli-US attack on Iran last weekend was sensible and correct. Donald Trump had lied that the US was at risk of imminent attack, and had presented no coherent reason for going to war. Even after Starmer weakened and allowed the US to use British bases , although it did not really need them, Trump was furious. He accused Starmer of being “no Winston Churchill”. Starmer should have been equally furious and said Trump was no Franklin Roosevelt – more George W Bush. Britain is now contending with an unreliable, mendacious and warmongering ally across the Atlantic. It surely must hold itself consistent and principled at a deeply uncertain time. But does its Tory opposition leader, Kemi Badenoch, agree? She goes to her spring party conference this week having hurled abuse at Starmer in parliament, supporting Trump on the dubious grounds that: “We’re in this war, whether they like it or not.” This appeared to be a confession of weakness, that other states can order Britons to go to war. As it was, Starmer found he had a navy left him by Badenoch’s party with hardly any seaworthy destroyers. It was surely a moment for a joint stance, not dispatch box point-scoring.

Beijing has stressed that it does not intend to rely on a weaker yuan for trade gains, amid a recent rally in the currency and mounting pressure from trade partners to allow it to strengthen. “China has neither the need nor the intention to gain competitive advantages in trade through currency depreciation,” said Pan Gongsheng, governor of the central bank, at a press conference of the country’s top economic officials on Friday. The comments came ahead of a new round of trade talks between China and the United States in Paris next week . China’s massive export machine, a key source of bilateral trade imbalance, is usually high on the agenda of negotiations. Advertisement The US administration has previously accused China of achieving “unfair” trade advantages through currency depreciation – a claim that Beijing has long denied. Washington once labelled China a currency manipulator during President Donald Trump’s first term. “At present, the yuan-dollar exchange rate is around the midpoint of its range in recent years,” Pan said. Advertisement The yuan has strengthened steadily against the US dollar since late last year. The PBOC set the yuan’s fixing rate at 6.9025 to the US dollar on Friday, slightly weaker than Thursday’s 6.9007, which was the strongest level in 34 months. The yuan’s rally coincides with a softening of the dollar, which has faced downward pressure in recent months, driven by policy uncertainty under the Trump administration.

China has pledged to strengthen maritime law enforcement and bolster legal and institutional mechanisms to defend its claims in disputed waters. Outlined in Beijing’s latest five-year policy blueprint, the resolution reflects its effort to strengthen China’s position in increasingly contested waters. China’s 15th five-year plan , which covers the 2026-2030 period, also signals a push by policymakers to expand China’s influence in shaping global maritime governance and rule-making. Advertisement Unlike the 2021-2025 plan, which underscored deeper participation in global maritime governance, the strategy unveiled on Thursday appears to place greater emphasis on a combination of external diplomacy and stronger domestic enforcement capacity to safeguard China’s maritime interests. This year marks a decade since an international tribunal at The Hague ruled against China , invalidating its claims to historic and economic rights over most of the South China Sea. Advertisement China refused to take part in the proceedings, initiated by the Philippines in 2013, maintaining that the tribunal had no jurisdiction over sovereignty disputes. It has since consistently rejected the ruling.

Welcome to the Business of Food newsletter, covering how the world feeds itself in a changing economy and climate. This week, Agnieszka de Sousa looks at fertilizer disruptions and why they matter to food supplies. Any tips or feedback? Email us here. And if you aren’t yet signed up to receive this newsletter, please do so here . Supply Panic More than a century ago, two German scientists devised a process that takes nitrogen from the air and hydrogen to nourish farmland. Fed by natural gas, the Haber-Bosch technology went on to fuel a boom in crop yields and help alleviate global hunger. Now, food’s link to energy supplies is again getting tested by the Iran conflict. Nitrogen fertilizer underpins roughly half of global food production. The US and Israel’s war on the Islamic Republic has disrupted the energy-rich Gulf, a major fertilizer hub. The Strait of Hormuz, where maritime traffic ground to a near-complete halt , handles a large share of the global trade for the nutrients while the region is also crucial to supplies of gas that feeds production elsewhere. That’s laid bare the vulnerability of the supply chain that ensures a steady output of anything from corn and palm oil to fruit and vegetables. The prospect of a fertilizer crunch is a throwback to when supplies were severely tested following Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine four years ago, inflating costs, boosting crop and food prices while worsening hunger in places like Africa. The situation in the Middle East adds to the wave of inflation threats just as the world also tries to recover from the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic and weather shocks. Fertilizer prices were already high before the Iran conflict erupted. Now farmers in the northern hemisphere are preparing to apply products to their fields knowing that they are likely to increase further. Costs have already been soaring all over the world, while prices of crops like wheat and corn have risen too. Snarled gas supplies from the region an...

In New Hampshire, just off the western shore of the vacation destination Lake Winnipesaukee, there's a town called Laconia. With a population somewhere south of 17,000, it's barely a blip on a map—except on Bike Week, when around 300,000 motorcyclists swarm the place. On the other, quieter weeks of the year, Laconia is best known as the unlikely home of Funspot, the world's largest arcade. Meanwhile, in Brookfield, Illinois, about 45 minutes west of Chicago and the shores of Lake Michigan, you'll find Galloping Ghost Arcade , a sprawling suburban palace with a nondescript exterior hiding a mind-blowing collection. With over 1,000 arcade cabinets (plus a further 46 pinball machines), Galloping Ghost is the world's largest arcade. Yes, there are two arcades in the US labeled as the world's largest, and while that may seem a bit paradoxical, a visit to both proves that while only one can be the biggest, both are the greatest.

Welcome to Edition 8.32 of the Rocket Report! The big news this week is NASA's shake-up of the Artemis program. On paper, at least, the changes appear to be quite sensible. Canceling the big new upper stage for the Space Launch System rocket and replacing it with a commercial upper stage, almost certainly United Launch Alliance's Centaur stage, should result in cost savings. The changes also relieve some of the pressure for SpaceX and Blue Origin to rapidly demonstrate cryogenic refueling in low-Earth orbit. The Artemis III mission is now a low-Earth orbit mission, using SLS and the Orion spacecraft to dock with one or both of the Artemis program's human-rated lunar landers just a few hundred miles above the Earth—no refueling required. Artemis IV will now be the first lunar landing attempt. As always, we welcome reader submissions .

The US Air Force’s new Sentinel intercontinental ballistic missile is on track for its first test flight next year, military officials reaffirmed last week. The LGM-35A Sentinel will replace the Air Force’s Minuteman III fleet, in service since 1970, with the first of the new missiles due to become operational in the early 2030s. But it will take longer than that to build and activate the full complement of Sentinel missiles and the 450 hardened underground silos to house them, Ars reports . Read full article Comments

Unihertz’s booth at MWC was a little out of the way, but those who did find it all seemed to want to pick up the Titan Elite 2. Sure, the cosmic orange color attracted attention, and the QWERTY keyboard reminded one showgoer of his old BlackBerry. But once I picked it up, I could see why it was so popular. It’s slim, light, and pocketable, and the physical keys just beg to be pressed. I felt unencumbered, which I can’t say about the phone I’m currently using. I didn’t want to put it down, and based on the steady stream of visitors I saw at the booth, I wasn’t alone. As usual, MWC offered a bunch of odd and delightful ideas about phones that aren’t just slabs of glass and aluminum. This year, I saw a phone with an electric igniter (it wasn’t working either time I tried to see it in action), a phone with a DJI Osmo-looking gimbal cam attached, even phones for pets. Will any of these ideas prove to be winners in the long run? Probably not, but it’s nice to imagine something different. Related Phones are going to get weird next week In between the oddball phones, another trend emerged in places like the Unihertz booth: phones that aren’t your main phone. This isn’t a brand-new idea, but the concept of a simplified device that provides a better typing experience, or gives you a little vacation from your regular phone’s constant nagging, seems to be gaining momentum. In almost every case, these are phones that could be your main phone, and Unihertz in particular has plenty of fans using the company’s existing devices this way. The Titan Elite 2 runs Android 16, and Unihertz promises OS upgrades up to Android 20. Watching vertical videos on the squarish 4-inch screen isn’t going to be the best experience, but there’s nothing to stop you from doing it. But the Elite 2 might be most appealing as a device when you don’t plan on watching a lot of TikTok videos — maybe if you want to actively discourage yourself from doing so, even. There are a few overlapping intentions behind...

MSFT Stock Today, March 06: Nippon Life Sues OpenAI, AI Legal Risk Rises Meyka

Nearmap/DigitalVision via Getty Images Article Thesis On Thursday, Canadian Natural Resources ( CNQ ) announced its Q4 earnings results. The company beat estimates easily, showed strong business growth compared to one year earlier, and announced another dividend increase on top of that. In recent weeks, shares have risen nicely, and they are not the bargain they were a while ago -- but I remain bullish on Canadian Natural Resources. Past Coverage I have written about Canadian Natural Resources here on Seeking Alpha in the past, most recently in January, when I published this article . I recommended buying CNQ back then, arguing that Venezuela-related fears were way overblown. So far, this thesis has worked out well, as Canadian Natural Resources has risen by a very nice 30% in the ~2 months since that article was published. With the company releasing its most recent earnings results on Thursday, it's time for me to update my views on the company today. What Happened? On Wednesday morning, Canadian Natural Resources announced its Q4 earnings results. The key numbers looked like this: Canadian Natural Resources Q4 earnings results (Seeking Alpha) We see that CNQ outperformed the analyst consensus widely when it comes to its earnings per share, with the C$0.82 result being a hefty 17% higher than expected. That being said, net profits and earnings per share are not the best metrics to evaluate a company like CNQ, I believe -- high non-cash depreciation charges for its oil sands mining assets make net profits look rather low compared to cash flows, which is why I think that looking at cash flow/funds flow is ideal. Canadian Natural Resources: Tailwinds From Higher Oil Prices Escalation in the Middle East has made oil prices jump significantly over the last couple of days, with investors fearing supply disruptions for oil exporters that ship oil through the Strait of Hormuz. Higher oil prices are, all else equal, positive for oil producers, including Canadian Natural Res...

Saving for retirement is important, but when it's decades away and you've got bills due today, it's understandable if it falls lower on the priority list. You don't need to pay off all your debts before you can tackle retirement savings, but if you have high-interest debt, it's worth getting it out of the way so you have more wiggle room in your budget. The right strategy for you will depend on how much and which type(s) of debt you have. Here are three popular strategies you can use to get your high-interest debt under control. 1. Snowball or avalanche method The debt snowball and debt avalanche methods are do-it-yourself strategies you can use to pay off multiple debts without taking out new loans. You start by making a list of all your debts, including the creditor name, balance, interest rate, minimum payment, and payment due date. With both strategies, you make minimum payments on each of your debts every month. The snowball method has you put any extra cash toward the debt with the smallest balance first until it's paid off. Then, you move on to the debt with the next-smallest balance, and so on. The avalanche method does the same thing except you focus on the debt with the highest interest rate first. 2. Balance transfer card A balance transfer card can work well if you have expensive credit card debt that you're confident you can pay off in the introductory 0% interest-rate period. You'll pay a one-time fee to do the balance transfer, but then, your balance won't grow for months. This can make it much easier to pay back what you owe. However, once the introductory period ends, any remaining balance will begin to accrue interest at the standard rate. Make sure you're prepared for this if you haven't paid off the entire amount at that point. 3. Debt consolidation loan A debt consolidation loan is a new loan you take out to pay off other debts. It could get you a lower monthly payment and may reduce your overall interest payments. Debt consolidation loans are o...

Berkshire CEO Greg Abel Commits Salary To Buying Company Stock Greg Abel said he plans to put all of his after-tax compensation into shares of Berkshire Hathaway for as long as he runs the company, according to Yahoo Finance/Bloomberg . He recently followed through by buying about $15.3 million of Berkshire stock, according to a regulatory filing. Abel said repeating the purchase each year after the company reports results could total “hundreds of millions” of dollars over time. “Absolute alignment with our shareholders, our partners, our owners is critical,” Abel said in an interview with CNBC on Thursday. “I already have some shares, but the goal was to continue to demonstrate alignment with them.” Bloomberg writes that the conglomerate also restarted its share repurchase program on Wednesday after leadership concluded the company’s “intrinsic value” exceeded its trading price. Following the announcement, the stock rose as much as 2% in early trading in New York on Thursday. Earlier in the week, Berkshire shares declined after the firm reported fourth-quarter results showing operating profit fell 30%, largely due to a 54% drop in insurance underwriting income. Investors had been looking for clues on Abel’s buyback strategy, particularly since Berkshire had gone six consecutive quarters without repurchasing shares. In his first annual shareholder letter last week, Abel reiterated the company’s long-standing approach to returning capital and signaled that a dividend remains unlikely. “We’ve maintained that we will retain a dollar if we see the opportunity to create more than a dollar for our shareholders —and that’s been the test,” Abel said. “So if we didn’t meet that test, we’d do a dividend.” Abel added that repurchasing stock won’t prevent Berkshire from deploying its roughly $373 billion cash reserve elsewhere. “There’s also ‘Do we acquire stock?’ And when we’re looking at companies: ‘Do we acquire whole companies also?’ And then there’s the ‘Do we acquire equi...

Buying strong, best-in-class technology and artificial intelligence stocks into weakness is something long-term investors should consider doing to start March. The bulls stepped up and bought stocks to defend the Nasdaq’s 200-day moving average mid-week despite escalating attacks in Iran and the surrounding region. Of course, a lot could change over the weekend and in the coming days and weeks given the dynamic and rapidly evolving situation in the Middle East. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research No matter what happens in the near-term, investors must remember that buying stocks amid downturns and chaotic times is a proven strategy over the long haul. Wall Street has also largely shrugged off other conflicts in recent years. Buy AI and Tech Stocks On the Dip in March and Hold It is time for investors to cut through the noise and look to the facts on the ground. The two things that move the market—earnings and interest rates—are supporting stocks. Nvidia’s Q4 report and outlook confirmed what Wall Street already knew. Despite some AI bubble worries, the spending spree is heating up. AI chip manufacturer Taiwan Semi was the first big tech firm to raise its 2026 capex guidance back in early January to between $52 billion and $56 billion, blowing away 2025’s $40.9 billion. AI hyperscalers are projected to spend roughly $530 billion in capex this year, up from around $400 billion last year. This figure is likely to keep climbing after the stellar stretch of guidance from the Mag 7 and beyond. The chart below highlights that the outlook for Q1 2026 Tech sector earnings has surged to 24% up from 18% in mid-January and 12% back in early October. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Wall Street is also excited that earnings growth is spreading across nearly every pocket of the economy, with 15 out of 16 Zacks sectors set to post YoY EPS expansion in 2026. On the interest rate front, the big money is still betting that the Fed will cut rates again in the back half of 2...

格隆汇3月6日｜伊朗局势混乱有可能对采购作为火力发电燃料的液化天然气（LNG）造成影响。这是因为遭到袭击的卡塔尔已停止生产，海上运输要冲霍尔木兹海峡也实际上被封锁。这对一部分LNG依赖中东产的日本电力公司等而言是个打击。若冲突长期持续，就需要讨论确保新的采购来源。 “3月和4月的库存能够保证，但如果冲突长期化，恐怕会对价格产生影响。”由东京电力控股与中部电力共同出资的火力发电公司JERA的负责人这样说。JERA的年进口量中，中东产约占1成。该公司还计划增加采购其中的卡塔尔产，且刚刚签订了自2028年起每年购买约300万吨的合同。 东北电力公司也从卡塔尔获得LNG，已开始讨论是否需要寻找替代的采购来源。2024年度约有13%从卡塔尔采购的关西电力公司则警惕称，若事态长期持续，“会受到影响”。
